Cards with Physical Gum - Can I slab?

You mentioned you have a few other 83 topps with gum attached. Did you try putting one in a plastic bag and then in the freezer? I have had luck with this in the past. Got the idea trying to un-brick a 97 topps set.

These were actually the only ones with the Gum, the others just had evidence it was ripped off. Thank you for the tip, this is one of those situations where I'd like to leave it though!

Yes, I too have heard of that trick! Then you not only have a cool card you can slip into a 9-pocket sheet, but you have a wad of gum to chew! So it's win, win!
